Better places to meet with

Creating a comfortable environment in your meeting rooms pays real dividends in terms of helping people concentrate and improving productivity. This Windows collaboration display has built-in sensors that can connect to the Microsoft Azure Digital Twins IoT platform, and other commercially available cloud and subscription services such as Sharp’s WorkSpace Intelligence (WSI)* as part of a smart building environment.

IoT Sensors

Occupancy

A motion sensor detects the presence of any people in the room. An additional artificial intelligence (AI) service can analyse this data and count the numbers of people. Further AI services could automatically switch on displays and other equipment. This enables a faster setup and helps improve the scheduling of room bookings. During a meeting, the sensor can also be used by another AI service to detect the location of whoever is speaking and control a three-dimensional microphone array to focus on the relevant person.

Temperature

Its intelligent climate measurement can be used by an AI service to automatically regulate the room temperature and relative humidity to make the room feel more comfortable. By intelligently optimizing the operation of the air-conditioning it also helps reduce costs.

Light

An ambient light sensor helps with intelligent lighting control, as it automatically measures the level of light. Then, an AI service can adjust the screen to compensate for the in-room lighting with the changing day and night time conditions. In this way you can reduce eye strain and save money on wasted energy.

Air quality

This Windows collaboration display continually measures and analyses the ambient air quality in the meeting room. It can also assist another AI service in automatically adjusting the air-conditioning to provide the best possible working environment.
